Coração De Luto

The biggest blow in the world
That I had in my life
Was when at nine years old
I lost my dear mother

She died burned in the fire
Sad and painful death
That made my little mother
Say the farewell goodbye

I was coming from school
When from afar I saw
The ranch where we lived
Full of people I found

Before anyone told me
I quickly imagined
That it was a case of death
Of the dear mother I loved

She was carried in an ox cart
That black coffin
Beside it I was crying
The sad separation

Upon arriving at the cemetery
There was a great exclamation
They covered with cold earth
My dear mother

From there I left crying
Taken by strangers' hands
But it didn't take even two months
I was thrown into this world

With the death of my mother
I was disoriented
At only nine years old
Thrown into this world

I suffered hunger and cold
Lost in this world
When my mother was alive
She told me: beloved son

Not to steal, not to kill
Not to harm, not to be harmed
Rest in peace, my mother
I will fulfill your request

What remains in my mind
My dear mother is your figure
Receive a prayer
From this son who is your fruit

Who carries in his chest
Your hidden feeling
Since nine years old
I have had my heart in mourning.
